Default OT - Mirror of Erised

I don't have the Harry Potter books. Can someone help me? What are
the letters, engraved around the frame of the Mirror of Erised?

Confess! Did you have to look that up or did you actually remember that?

Read this backwards, and rearrange where the spaces are.

The mirror of Desire. It shows you what you really want to see, not what
is, or could be.

Harry sees his parents, the first few times he sees it, because he
misses them and they died when he was 1.

I remembered that it says "I show not your face but your heart's desire"
backwards, and split into (more or less) pronounceable pseudo-words.
